I've been teaching English since 2014 and have been living in Tbilisi, Georgia since then, although I’m from the US originally.

I emphasize free, natural, open conversation with all the people I meet, as there’s no better way to improve one’s speaking skills than simply by speaking. In my experience, a comfortable, informal learning environment is not only pleasant, but is the most effective way for a learner to make progress. I enjoy discussing every-day work and personal life topics, but also going over things like conditionals, phrasal verbs, idioms, even slang, to help the student gain a more confident command of English.

I prefer teaching online - it allows me to meet people all over the world and to devote more time to my children.
